4. Creates the installation directory (/opt/splashtop)
5. Extracts the tarball to the installation directory
6. Installs the DEB package using dpkg
7. Automatically fixes any missing dependencies using apt install -f
8. Enables and starts the splashtop-streamer systemd service
9. Removes the downloaded tarball
10. Reports installation status
